Answer 1

ANSWERS:

B. Add 2.

X>5

EXPLANATIONS:

GIVEN:

Isolate by the x on one side of the equation.

SOLUTIONS:

`\displaystyle \mathsf{x+(-2)>3}}`

`\displaystyle \mathsf{x-2>3}`

First, add 2 from both sides.

`\displaystyle \mathsf{x-2+2>3+2}}`

Solve.

Add the numbers from left to right.

`\displaystyle \mathsf{2+3=\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow 5}}}}`

`\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow X>5}}}`

Therefore, the correct answer is x>5 and (B). add 2.
